Symptoms:
Bulging, loose lower eyelid skin with a perpetual shadow under the eyebags making them look puffy and making you look like you haven’t slept well or have been crying all night!
Description of Procedure:
This extremely rejuvenating procedure (called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty) removes the bulging fat pads from INSIDE the eye, leaving no external scars, and therefore has a very short downtime compared to conventional techniques where the fat pads are approached through a skin incision. Should there be excess skin, this can be removed through a fine incision just under the eyelashes without traumatizing the underlying muscle (this is called a skin pinch).
Anaesthesia:
- Local Anaesthesia with Intravenous sedation
Hospital Stay:
Downtime:
- You will be able to walk out of the clinic
- There are no sutures to be removed
- Normal activities can be resumed almost immediately with sunglasses
- Eyes may get a little red
- Bruising is usually minimal but swelling will invariably be presentOld lax thin skin is more prone to bruising! This will resolve by 2 weeks (so if you fit this description you will need to plan to be socially absent for 2 weeks)
